About Michael Evans

Hi. We are a young couple living in the UK and are lucky to have a fabulous house to rent in a beautiful part of the Algarve. We visit as often as we can with our daughter. She absolutely loves the house and especially the swimming pool! I am the Secretary of a Golf Club and my wife works for a software company. We live on the Oxfordshire/Berkshire border and whilst I was born about 3 miles from my current home my wife is from the West Coast of America and about 8000 miles from home! We are a friendly, easy-going family who enjoy our trips to the Algarve!

Michael Evans purchased this Villa in 2013

Why Michael Evans chose Benagil

We have been visiting Carvoeiro for a number of years and love the area.
We chose our property as it is on a private residential estate, has no passing traffic and is in a very safe area.
All of the gardens are maintained to a very high standard and the private pool is extremely quiet and always immaculately clean and tidy.
The location is near enough to Carvoeiro centre but far enough away to ensure lots of tranquillity.
Most of the residents are ex-pats who have lived on Golfemar for many years.
The clinching factors for us were the roof terrace and the rooftop bar less than 5 minutes walk away!

What makes this Villa unique

The house has not been rented by any previous owners and is in immaculate condition. It is fully furnished and has a very well equipped kitchen.
It has a terrace from the bedroom, a balcony on the first floor and a roof terrace.
The roof terrace is not south facing, which is essential as it is not too hot!
It has a 46 inch TV, wi-fi access and full air conditioning.
The house has a garden and over the hedge is the 4th tee of the local golf course.
The town centre and supermarket is 5 minutes away and taxi's are not expensive at all.

We have just come to the end of a weeks stay in Carvoeiro. Fantastic villa, great golf at Pinta and Gramacho and fantastic food. Loved the cliff top walks, spectacular scenery. Will definitely be back and would love to stay in this villa again.

My wife, 2 children and myself enjoyed a fantastic 2 week stay in this property at the beginning of July. Prior to arriving i had read the extensive list of facilties that the property has but the one item I had noticed that wasn't on that list was a cool box. On mentioning this to Mike (the owner) he very kindly organised for Ulf the property manager to arrange one for our arrival.This villa lacks nothing ! It is a proper home from home with every facility you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The wifi speed is the best that I have ever encountered in a private rental. It proved extremely useful in the evening when my children were able to seamlessly stream videos on their tablets. The piped music system was excellent. We connected our ipad in the living room and could choose to listen to music in every room or individual rooms depending on our requirements. We also made use of the BBQ on the terrace which came supplied with charcoal and fire lighters. The property had just been painted prior to our arrival and during the course of the our stay we witnessed the painters at other adjacent properties. The whole Golfemar complex is immaculately maintained. The garden and lawns were beautifully manicured and the grass around the pool was cut during our stay. Though I must say that this was either done late at night or first thing in the morning as we never witnessed it being cut. The pool area is one of the nicest we have ever seen. As previous guests have commentated the whole complex is extremely quiet and even during July we were quite often the only ones making use of the pool. The situation of the property is ideal as it is within a few minutes walk of the superb Lighthouse restaurant and 5 minutes drive from the centre of Carvoeiro.The only slight issue to arise during our entire stay was one morning when the electricity went off. I rang Ulf straight away and within 10 minutes he was at the door. He got the electricity on immediately and found out that the problem lay with a faulty kettle. Within a short space of time he returned with a brand new kettle and after that we never had any other issues.This gave us great peace of mind knowing that there was always someone on hand to resolve any problems we might have. Both Mike and Ulf were easily contactable.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this villa to friends and family and would hope to return in the future.

A big thank you once again to Mike and Ulf for all your help.

Owner's Response:

Dear Alan

This is such a wonderful review, thank you so much.

I am so pleased that the villa was everything you had hoped for and in our initial correspondence I remember saying that we wanted you to feel like this was your home whilst you were there, and it sounds like you did. :-)

I do hope that you come back and stay again in the future.

Kind regards

Mike

We stayed for a week and friends joined us after a couple of days. Fantastic villa very quiet and has everything thing you need for a perfect get away. Clean modern and tidy. Close to some nearby restaurants and the 9 hole golf course but within 8 minutes drive you are in the coastal town of Carvoeiro and the many extremely good places to eat and relax. Enjoyed every minute of our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the villa to friends. Could well return very soon.

We arrived before mid-day just as the cleaners were leaving, and property manager Ulf and his delightful family showed us round this well maintained property in a lovely quiet area. The house is very comfortable, well furnished with plenty of good quality utensils, crockery and cook wear. Lovely quality 100% cotton bedding, and brand new beach towels were available for our use. The pool area, just a short walk down the road is lovely, there are 2 private sunbeds available for your use though the grass is very soft too! The pool, which you can walk into, is very clean and well maintained and gets little use from the other residents.

Unless you are quite fit, and although local Taxi's are quite reasonable a car is really essential, it is a long hot 3km walk to Carvoeiro, The nearest small supermarket and bars / restaurants are in walking distance near the Rocha Brava resort and there are large supermarkets a few minutes away by car on the main road towards Lagoa. Without a car you will also miss the delights of the local Smugglers beach, and trips to Ferragudo, Portimao and Silves, and also the gastronomic feasts at the many small restaurants in the villages and towns

nearby.

The only noise you will hear is the occasional rattle of clubs, from passing Golfers on the path behind the house, down to the fourth tee on the adjacent golf course and one evening there was live music at the nearby lighthouse bar and it was very pleasant to sit on the balcony at the Villa and listen! The roof terrace is lovely, very sheltered with great views over the Golf course. There are 2 sunbeds on the roof terrace and two more on the patio outside the bedrooms, so plenty of space to chill. Perfect place for a relaxing family or couples holiday. Thank you Mike & Carma for letting us stay in your beautiful holiday home.
